Embodiment Construction

[0030] The invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments of the invention are shown. However, this invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, the embodiments presented are provided here so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0031] By way of example, using Rail-Veyor here TM The system describes a control system consistent with the teachings of the present invention. Other applications may include: underground mining work, where loading trains are stacked on top of an inverted empty return train, which reduces the horizontal profile; and applications where the trains are connected in a continuous loop like conventional conveyors, without belt tensioning issues and Potential fire hazard from drive slip. As will occur ...

Abstract

A train is driven by drive stations positioned along a track for frictionally contacting side plates on the train. The drive speed is controlled in response to sensors located at each drive station sensing a position of a wheel and a side plate for confirming a presence of the train. A start command is transmitted from the drive station driving the train to a second drive station downstream when a lead car is within a preselected distance from the second drive station. The drive station at the second drive station is quickly accelerated to a target speed for synchronizing the first drive station with the second drive station. After receiving the train, the second drive station then transmits a stop command to the first drive station for fast decelerating the drive station to a stop.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to systems for propelling trains without an internal drive, and in particular to systems and methods for controlling multiple trains through loading and unloading of loose material. Background technique [0002] Methods and apparatus for transporting bulk materials in conventional trains, trucks, conveyor belts, aerial ropeways or as slurries in pipelines are well known and are typically used in various industries because of site-specific needs or experience. In the extractive and aggregate industries, for example, bulk material is transported from an extractive or extraction site to a processing plant for thickening or screening. Trucks have been the system of choice for moving bulk materials for many years. Trucks are oversized for off-road vehicles because of their efficient bulk material transport and increased capacity. However, these vehicles are limited to site-specific uses and are provided at high capi...
